Results of a Spammy XRumer Test

[McBrett]

I've read a number of XRumer reviews on this forum, but it's
always tough to tell a legit review from someone just pursuing
affiliate commissions.

So I ran a little XRumer review on one of my throw aways websites
to see what kind of results this spammy software is really capable of.

A little background about the test: I only had the XRumer blast sent
to about 6,500 profiles. This software has the capability to
blast profile submissions to over 100,000 profiles if I wanted and
my results might have been better if I did that.

I based success on two factors:

1.) Improved Rankings for 10 tracked Keywords
2.) More Traffic from Search Engines


Just two weeks after my intial blast, here are my results using
this software:

Current Rankings in Google

air traffic control test prep: – Movement: 0
air traffic control training: – Movement: 0
air traffic controller training: 21 Movement: + 88
atc certification: 18 Movement: + 2
atc prep: – Movement: 0
atc trainer: 3 Movement: 0
atc training: 8 Movement: + 2
how to become an air traffic controller: 81 Movement: + 15


Search Traffic:

77 visits via search engines in 12 days before XRumer Blast.

87 visits via search engines in 12 days after XRumer Blast.


Judging from the initial results, I think an automated link building tool like XRumer could be useful tool to improve rankings of specific keywords when combined with a more white-hat methods of link building. The trick would be in not tripping up Google’s algo longterm.

Hope you found this legit review helpful. Let me know if you've got questions about this little case study.

A couple of questions. Did you use all 8 keyword phrases in the same profile? If so, in what order? Were all keyword phrases linked to the same pages, or 8 different pages? Just looking for some more info to your experiment. Please post your results in a couple weeks too as it takes time to get those indexed.

If utilized properly, XRumer can be effective. Personally, I'm not a fan, but it does work if you do it right. Most people, however, simply do a spammy 'blast' out to thousands of PR N/A and PR0 forums.

I think my site got penalized after Google's update. Not sure why I got pushed down from page 1 to page 25+?

My content is rich and original. People use it on eHow, Wikipedia and Yahoo Answers all the time as a source. So it must be quality content. I've hired the Hoist and a few other profile, blog commenting, and article marketing services on WF, but my results were destructive.

Maybe it's just me, but those results look like the test changed nothing at all. There was a major algorithm change within those past 2 weeks, which could have easily accounted for the slight changes.
